Redknapp tips City to win Bell race
-
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp isn't confident of landing Craig Bellamy after admitting Manchester City are favourites for the West Ham striker.
Spurs have had a bid turned down, thought to be in the region of £6million, and Redknapp is expecting City to go higher than their valuation of the 29-year-old.
"I think there will be more offers, Manchester City are supposed to be very interested but he belongs to West Ham and if they decide they do not want to sell him then it's up to them," Redknapp said after Friday's goalless draw with Fulham.
"It depends. I'll speak to the chairman but if Man City are in for him then it is very difficult to compete with them - they can throw millions and millions at everything."
The need to freshen up Spurs' attack was highlighted in the stalemate against Roy Hodgson's side at White Hart Lane, where Darren Bent, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Fraizer Campbell struggled to create clear-cut chances.
To make matters worse for Redknapp, he saw Tom Huddlestone limp off with an ankle injury.
The Spurs boss added: "I thought Bobby Zamora was outstanding, in the first half he held the ball up very well. I wish he was still at Tottenham.
"They let him go and maybe thought he wasn't good enough. Maybe he wasn't good enough when they (Dimitar) Berbatov, (Robbie) Keane and (Jermain) Defoe but he looks all right to me."
